Wishbone formation

[savage]

it was cool seeing us line up with all of our backs on the field at the same time. it got us a few yards and i can see how this could be hell for opposing defenses. i think we only ran a play with it twice last game right? seems like something we might want to throw in a bit more to see how it works.

It was also cool seeing Cam line up at WR and then going under center.....not sure the purpose though.

Yeah I think I've had enough of these plays that look cool but don't get results

I wondered the same thing, I just thought Chud wanted to see what kind of look they would give us if we ran a WC play....

I agree and thought the formation is basically the read option on crack.

If Armanti lead Smitty just a little bit on his pass, it would have been a score and nice TD.

Anyone remember Cam's 28 yard reception last year? Bring back that play.

I don't mind the cute plays, just not every fuggin down... Well unless you're already down 3 scores. Then just run plays from movies. At least that'd be funny.

I would just like to see a run out of the I-formation. I think we lined up in it once and it was a play-action. Cut down the amount of option plays, teams are obviously ready for it this year and defend it well almost every play.

There is probably an option before Cams motion given the right look. Plus I would think at least 2 after motion one being a snap and run to D-Will right after Can starts to move (set up by the play we ran and hoping to have the D think "We can chill until Cam is back under center") and one being Cam just running past the line and D-Will takes the snap and rund the other way.

But I just guessing, it could be absolutly no point but to hope to confuse.

I disagree, the option worked really well as long as we used the first/dive option. Going outside was less successful but you have to do that to set up the inside run.

Nanee is gone though, and I don´t think we can fool anyone with Armanti everybody knows he is really a QB.

It would have also helped if the CB didn't trip Smith.

After re-watching the game, I see Chud has added a new wrinkle to the read-option. He ran it twice from a unbalanced line. The first time was on Cam's long run to the left, which was to the weak side, and because of the defensive line shift it was successful. The second time the Falcons was prepared and didn't shift.

I also noticed that Chud was trying trick plays from under center as well, which killed a drive.

That was actually sort of a pistol wish-bone don't know what our obsession with shotgun running is .. I really don't.

the purpose is to get atlanta to stack the box in expectation of the wildcat and then take advantage of it
